It is a 1958 Desoto Firedome. If I could have any car in the world it would be one of these......

Hey Maui..............I have been looking for a nice Dodge "Swept-Wing" convertable just like this one for a while now. I figure mabey since I own the Swep-Wing trademark for stringed instruments mabey it could be my business mobile and get a good write off. Ha!
That car is sweet! Nice guitar too if I do say so myself.

I know Bob has friendly price tags but that reissue Firedome Reissue would have to be closer to $ 89,999.-- in this day and age I reckonJohnChambers wrote:[size=85]That's an amazing car...//...Now if Bob could make a Firedome Reissue for $899 (well, OK, maybe $8999)... ...//...The bridge pickup with a little amp overdrive comes pretty close to that "Ventures Knock Me Out" lead sound, which I really like.

Oh, and I really dig what you said about the Hallmark bridge pickup! Cool...
Hey John, you might want to check out my post on the Ventures' Mosrite sound... viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1801 ...and yes, I agree with you, the original cover of said album with that typically attractive 'Ventures blonde' is way better than my avatar (perhaps I need to change it back...)JohnChambers wrote:That's my favorite Ventures album [edit: "The Ventures Knock Me Out"]: Tomorrow's Love, Gone Gone Gone, and (of course) Slaughter on 10th Ave have been favorites for about 45 years. That lead sound has always been kind of hard to replicate (a Red Rhoades fuzz box might help?)
